Requirements ¶

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

boto
boto3
python >= 2.6

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
aws_access_key		AWS access key. If not set then the value of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is used. aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key
aws_secret_key		AWS secret key. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_KEY, or EC2_SECRET_KEY environment variable is used. aliases: ec2_secret_key, secret_key
ec2_url		Url to use to connect to EC2 or your Eucalyptus cloud (by default the module will use EC2 endpoints). Ignored for modules where region is required. Must be specified for all other modules if region is not used. If not set then the value of the EC2_URL environment variable, if any, is used.
encryption_state (added in 2.5)	Choices: enabled disabled	Enable or Disable encryption on the Kinesis Stream.
encryption_type (added in 2.5)	Default: KMS	The type of encryption.
key_id (added in 2.5)		The GUID or alias for the KMS key.
name required		The name of the Kinesis Stream you are managing.
profile (added in 1.6)		Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
region		The AWS region to use. If not specified then the value of the AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION environment variable, if any, is used. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region aliases: aws_region, ec2_region
retention_period		The default retention period is 24 hours and can not be less than 24 hours. The retention period can be modified during any point in time.
security_token (added in 1.6)		AWS STS security token. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN environment variable is used. aliases: access_token
shards		The number of shards you want to have with this stream. This is required when state == present
state	Choices: present ← absent	Create or Delete the Kinesis Stream.
tags		A dictionary of resource tags of the form: { tag1: value1, tag2: value2 }. aliases: resource_tags
validate_certs bool (added in 1.5)	Choices: no yes ←	When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.
wait	Default: yes	Wait for operation to complete before returning.
wait_timeout	Default: 300	How many seconds to wait for an operation to complete before timing out.

Notes ¶

Note

If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence AWS_URL or EC2_URL, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_SECRET_KEY or EC2_SECRET_KEY, AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN, AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION
Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file

Examples ¶

# Note: These examples do not set authentication details, see the AWS Guide for details.

# Basic creation example:
- name: Set up Kinesis Stream with 10 shards and wait for the stream to become ACTIVE
  kinesis_stream:
    name: test-stream
    shards: 10
    wait: yes
    wait_timeout: 600
  register: test_stream

# Basic creation example with tags:
- name: Set up Kinesis Stream with 10 shards, tag the environment, and wait for the stream to become ACTIVE
  kinesis_stream:
    name: test-stream
    shards: 10
    tags:
      Env: development
    wait: yes
    wait_timeout: 600
  register: test_stream

# Basic creation example with tags and increase the retention period from the default 24 hours to 48 hours:
- name: Set up Kinesis Stream with 10 shards, tag the environment, increase the retention period and wait for the stream to become ACTIVE
  kinesis_stream:
    name: test-stream
    retention_period: 48
    shards: 10
    tags:
      Env: development
    wait: yes
    wait_timeout: 600
  register: test_stream

# Basic delete example:
- name: Delete Kinesis Stream test-stream and wait for it to finish deleting.
  kinesis_stream:
    name: test-stream
    state: absent
    wait: yes
    wait_timeout: 600
  register: test_stream

# Basic enable encryption example:
- name: Encrypt Kinesis Stream test-stream.
  kinesis_stream:
    name: test-stream
    state: present
    encryption_state: enabled
    encryption_type: KMS
    key_id: alias/aws/kinesis
    wait: yes
    wait_timeout: 600
  register: test_stream

# Basic disable encryption example:
- name: Encrypt Kinesis Stream test-stream.
  kinesis_stream:
    name: test-stream
    state: present
    encryption_state: disabled
    encryption_type: KMS
    key_id: alias/aws/kinesis
    wait: yes
    wait_timeout: 600
  register: test_stream

Return Values ¶

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key	Returned	Description
retention_period_hours int	when state == present.	Number of hours messages will be kept for a Kinesis Stream. Sample: 24
stream_arn string	when state == present.	The amazon resource identifier Sample: arn:aws:kinesis:east-side:123456789:stream/test-stream
stream_name string	when state == present.	The name of the Kinesis Stream. Sample: test-stream
stream_status string	when state == present.	The current state of the Kinesis Stream. Sample: ACTIVE
tags dict	when state == present.	Dictionary containing all the tags associated with the Kinesis stream. Sample: {'Name': 'Splunk', 'Env': 'development'}
